I told you so. O

[bk3000]

Many of you got mad when I told you all about nine months ago that Budenholzer would make no difference, that the problem was with the Suns personnel and not the coaching. I said you have three mid-range jump shooters as your main cogs, and that two of those guys, your superstars, sulk and chide their teammates when they don't get enough shots. The whole team chemistry is awful, both on the court and off. Good players such as Crowder, Ayton and Nurkic have been run off by the terrible attitudes and selfishness of the "stars." I am not saying Crowder, Ayton and Nurkic are great players, but they can help play roles with a good and team-oriented roster. This team is going nowhere with the players it has its core.

I know this board is a bit different than your average fan site, and you seem relatively new, so let me just say this:
We know, man. Most (probably 90%) of us here have been around for a long time, and we have all been wrong dozens of time. We have said we've been wrong dozens of time. Hell, I've been around so long that I wanted the Suns to draft Nikoloz Tskitishvilli over Amare Stoudemire. Telling me I was wrong about Frank being the problem instead of the players isn't telling me anything new or anything I haven't said already. I am betting that 90% of the board relates and can say something similar.

Congrats on being right!

BK, i copied your post to the Booker Non-Appreciation thread because this can be an inhospitable place for critical thinkers

Are you interested in joining in a community of Suns fans to talk about the Suns or did you just want to gloat about being right when there was little pushback on that claim you made initially? That's a serious question. No one here claims they're always correct and most admit when they're wrong but I think we all root for the Suns to win over our bleak predictions coming true. I thought Ayton would be better than Embiid before his rookie contract and become a modern day Shaq to Booker's Kobe while leading the Suns to championships. Before that I was convinced Josh Jackson would be a Pippen like franchise player and would definitely have a better career than Tatum. That's just a couple of things I've been ridiculously wrong about.

However I believe witnessing the Suns succeed feels a lot better than saying "I told you so". Maybe others feel different, I'd imagine most here agree though. We all make predictions about how things will play out, that's part of being a dedicated sports fan. You aren't wrong to do so. I'm not sure what you gain from gloating about being right though considering you've posted here 4 times before today and received very little pushback, most agreed to varying degrees since you didn't stick around to expand or elaborate whether you felt he was free from blame entirely or not. He wasn't the primary problem and I don't think anyone believes he was, especially now. The others who shared similar beliefs then, or disagreed, didn't vanish for almost a year though before returning and trying to take a victory lap like you are doing.
